Q.

Three identical balls ball-I, ball-II and ball-III are placed on a smooth floor on a straight line at the separation of 10 m between balls as shown in figure. Initially balls are stationary. Ball I is given velocity of 10 m/s towards ball-II. Collision between ball-I and ball-II is inelastic with coefficient of restitution 0.5 but collision between ball-III and II is perfectly elastic. The time interval between two consecutive collisions between ball-I and II is________sec.

 mass of each ball be m

V1,    V2

e=0.5u1=10m/se=V2V1u1u20.5=V2V1100V2V1=5L.C.Mm10=mV1+mV2V1+V2=10V2=7.5m/sV1=2.5m/s

collision between II & III is elastic, so Ball-II will come to rest and Ball-III will move with a velocity of 7.5m/s.

The time in which the Ball-I reach the Ball-II which is at the point of collision is given by t=102.5=4s
